It’s back-to-school time again which for many young adults means long commutes hauling lots of items to campus. Combining generous cabin space, a large trunk, and excellent fuel economy, it’s easy to see how the 2012 Nissan Versa was chosen as one of the contenders in Edmunds’ Consumers’ Favorites Poll of Best Cars for College Students. The 2012 Versa is now available at Greenville student drivers at James Ceranti Nissan.

The 2012 Versa 1.6 S is equipped with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine capable of producing 109 horsepower and 107 lb-ft of torque. This trim can reach EPA estimated mileage of 30 mpg city and 38 mpg highway, making it a great choice for those drivers who have long commutes to and from campus. Interior features include an auxiliary power outlet, power steering, a trip computer, CD player, MP3 player, auxiliary audio input, and A/C.

As an IIHS Top Safety Pick, the 2012 Versa received the highest possible ratings in a frontal offset test, side impact test, rear crash protection, and a roof strength test. Safety equipment includes a tire pressure monitoring system, traction control, and electronic stability control.

Since its introduction two years ago, the Nissan Juke has certainly gotten noticed. With its eye-catching design and dynamic performance, the Juke is hard to ignore. However, Nissan is giving the Juke a more stealth appearance with the new Midnight Edition accessory package available on the 2013 model lineup.

Now in its third year of production, the Nissan Juke continues to offer something different for those drivers seeking a head-turner on the road. Upgrades to the 2013 Juke include a RearView Monitor with the Navigation Package, a revised audio system, and the addition of three new exterior colors: Atomic Gold, Brilliant Silver, and Pearl White. The Midnight Edition features Sapphire Black mirror caps, a Sapphire Black rear spoiler, and unique 17” Black Wheels.

“The Midnight Edition JUKE stands out by its subtlety,” said Al Castignetti, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division, Nissan North America, Inc. “The combination of black-on-black-on-black wheels, spoiler and mirrors gives JUKE a dramatic new look, which we think enhances its already bold styling. We expect it to be a very popular addition to the JUKE lineup for 2013.”

With an array of amenities and best-in-class fuel economy, the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder is the next-generation SUV. The all-new Pathfinder will be arriving at our dealership this fall.

The all-new aerodynamic style of the 2013 Pathfinder’s exterior helped the vehicle shed 500 pounds of mass. Even with this change, the Pathfinder still provides the most interior passenger volume, front headroom, and legroom in its class. The lighter weight also helped improve fuel economy as the 2013 Pathfinder has 30 percent better fuel economy as compared to the 2012 Pathfinder. The FWD version has fuel economy estimations of 20 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. The 4WD version gets 19 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined.

“It’s no secret that the industry has shifted as gas prices have increased,” says Al Castignetti, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division, Nissan North America, Inc. “But while traditional SUV customers are looking for improved fuel economy, they still demand a vehicle that can do all the things they need, like carrying seven people, towing, and providing the surefootedness in all conditions of a four-wheel drive.”

The 2013 Pathfinder can do all that and more, and it will be making its way to James Ceranti Nissan this fall. For more information, visit us online at www.jamescerantinissan.net.

The Nissan Foundation has been distributing funds to over 100 nonprofit organizations since 1992. Organizations that have received grants from the Nissan Foundation are those that highlight a great appreciation and understanding of America’s diverse culture heritage through educational programs.

During a special luncheon last week to commemorate the Nissan Foundations’ 20th anniversary, 26 nonprofit organizations from around the country were awarded grants totaling $655,000. Each organization recognized at the luncheon exhibit a strong commitment to promoting cultural diversity in their communities.

“Diversity is strength, whether in a company or a community. We see the Foundation as a means to promote respect for others, generate alternative ways of thinking, strengthen self-awareness and enrich community life,” said Scott Becker, president of the Nissan Foundation. “We are proud to partner with this year’s grant recipients, and we know they will bring tremendous value to people’s lives as they turn their proposals into actions.”
